PRODUCT DESIGNER · AI · ENTERPRISE INFRASTRUCTURE

I turn enterprise complexity
into calm, intuitive clarity.

Nine years designing AI and ML, infrastructure-grade products across VMware, Cisco & Alkira — where networks span continents, mistakes cost millions, and trust under pressure isn't just a nice-to-have, it is the product.

SCROLL
Tools got faster. Decisions didn't.
The gap between making and thinking
is where design lives.
A note to self · 2026
TRUSTED BY
A decade and a half across enterprise networking, research labs, and global IT.
SELECTED WORK

Enterprise complexity, rewritten.
ML security. Network automation. AI operations.

Every engagement started the same way: overwhelming data, fragile confidence. The interface was never the problem. The translation was.

ABOUT
Portrait: saying hello to a new friend

Beyond the resume.

I started as an engineer in Mumbai with a curiosity about what made enterprise tools feel so hostile. Nine years later I've built design practices, shipped ML-security products, and filed four patents across VMware, Cisco & Alkira, but the curiosity hasn't changed. It's still the same question: Why does it have to be this hard?

Four cities, five roles, one thread. The cricket obsession, the music, the geography? Read the full story.
